Working Together Works! Serving Children With Disabilities Who Are Homeless or In Out of Home Care Patricia Popp, Ph.D., State Coordinator, Project HOPE-VA, The College of William and Mary (VA) Kathleen McNaught, Project Director, American Bar Association Center on Children and the Law (DC) Children with disabilities who are experiencing homeless or placed in out of home care increase the number of educators and service providers who must work together, considering a variety of legislative requirements.

Serving Our Youngest Homeless Children by Home Visitation Michelle Mackin-Brown, Coordinator, Jefferson County HIPPY Program (CO) Sarah Benjamin, Parent-Child Home Program, Eastern Suffolk BOCES (NY) Denver 4 Denver 3 Gold Coin Matchless Most homeless families have little or no access to any preschool education for their youngest children. Research shows the early years are crucial for later school success. The Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY) is a research-based early intervention program that empowers parents to teach their three-, four-, and five-year-old children, and prepares them to succeed in school. The Parent-Child Home Program is a nationally recognized and research-based early literacy and parent support home visiting program that has been successful in addressing this need, primarily serving families with children from 18 months to four-years-old. This session will offer practical guidance for replication of these models.

A Population-Level Description of the Cross-System Status of Homeless and Highly Mobile Students Anita Larson, University of Minnesota School of Social Work, Center for Advanced Studies in Child Welfare (MN) A study of three school districts in Minnesota using existing data indicated that children identified as homeless and highly mobile shared a number of significant attributes when compared to their non-mobile peers including falling attendance and trajectories in years prior to identification, more frequent child welfare involvement, and numerous school disruptions. These findings have implications for earlier identification, intervention, improved population estimation, and local data practices, as well as the ongoing importance of understanding program reach and effectiveness.
